Overview
A guided tour through Amsterdam with a local. During this tour, I will tell you about life in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and some general history, Show you things you wouldn't find on your own and give you recommendations.
Most importantly, we try to figure out the heart of the Dutch experience through a uniquely Dutch concept we call "Gezelligheid". 'What does that mean?' you may wonder. Well, It's not translatable. 'Gezelligheid' is something one can only experience - and that's what we'll do!
During the tour, I will take you by the must-sees like Dam Square, Red Light District and Rembrandt House, but also some secret places you'll never find alone! We might even get some traditional Dutch treats like "Stroopwafel" or "Bitterballen" if we want to turn up the "gezelligheid" to the max.
If you want to see more of the city, just add hours to the tour and we can adjust it anywhere between 3 and 6 hours.

Stop 1 · 15m
Here we will see two of the most iconic sites in Amsterdam, that every traveler must see. It's the war memorial on Dam Square, and the Royal Palace right across from it. The square also functions as a place for modern day demonstrations, protests and gatherings which I can tell you all about. Let's see what they have in store for us on our visit!
-
Stop 2 · 15m
Our greatest and most luxurious shopping mall. You'll find all the top brands here at the main level, but the others levels have more to offer. I used to come here with my grandma to have some tea and apple pie.
-
Stop 3 · 15m
The first and oldest stock exchange in the world. Originally brought about to sell shares in the East Indies Company, the company that made Amsterdam rich. They were the first to get the idea of selling shares, thus this place is the birthplace of the modern day stock exchange.

Stop 4 · 15m
The Red Light Distrcit is well known to the outside world. The place is in continues flux and has a different character every decade. Let me tell you latest during our tour, while I guide you through safely.
-
Stop 5 · 15m
This is the heart of the city back in the middle-ages. It's home to the 15th century building known as "The Waag" right now, but it used to be the entrance to the city complete with a draw-bridge.
-
Stop 6 · 15m
Beautiful house, now the Rembrandtmuseum, where Rembrandt lived most of his life. Great place to visit on any occasion, and especially when you've perhaps missed an opportunity to get tickets to the big museums.
-
Stop 7 · 15m
One of the most iconic brudges in Amsterdam. I've lived her for more than a decade, and when cycling past it I'm always anoyed by the masses of tourists wanting to take a picture there. When I finaly gave my own tours, only then did I understand why people were going there! It's because the view it offers, contrasting the bridge and canal against the buildings is unmatched.
-
Stop 8 · 15m
As a local I never even noticed how special this market was! To us locals it's normal to just see the market floating on the water, but it's something special for sure!
-
Stop 9 · 15m
This is a little-known place right in the heart of Amsterdam that almost no one knows about! It's an oasis of calm right in the middle of the busiest city in the Netherlands.
-
Stop 10 · 15m
Residence of the mayors of Amsterdam. Currently Femke Halsema lives here.
-
Stop 11 · 15m
